"For the RIGHTEOUS can never truly die. They live on. transformed into something IMMORTAL by their mighty works. For you to die you would have to be forgotten, and no one forgets a founder of a nation"-MAGNETO regarding CYCLOPS

That whole speech was just Xavier saying "dont worry, if you die, I'll just grow a new you in a pod."

Emma walked in there like THE BOSS she is...

Ah Emma Frost...You never change or learn😍.

Apocalypse is an external mutant. But he is also Celestial technology. Nimrod shouldn’t be able to defeat him much less overwhelm him.

"Emma Frost could make this woman pretend she was Spongebob Squarepants, singing the theme tune for the rest of her life if she wanted to." Man..... that's a fate worse than death.

"Why dont you pretend that some larger American purpose is being served here today...and ill pretend you could have stopped me."- THE WHITE QUEEN

Emma's scene was amazing! Also, ten will get you twenty that those mutants get rebirthed in Krakoa through the pods we saw in HoX 1 if they're actually dead.

Bro I was literally just cooking in my kitchen and I just had the thought I really hope Rob posts about house of X today and bam, 🐐

Although I agree that Nimrod should be a huge challenge for any mutant since he was designed to do just that, Apocalypse wasn't just a mutant. He had Celestial technology that in theory should have been light years ahead of the technology that Nimrod was made from. It really should not have been a close fight, and I wish they had found another way for Apocalypse to be neutralized rather than getting his ass kicked rather easily.

These x stories are changing the game of x men comics forever 😎

I have always considered Nimrod the ultimate and final Sentinel from when I initially read/saw the very first appearance. Nimrod was god tier and it just took several decades to understand from a story telling aspect that it was not so much a character but a story device (forgive the pun) - like a force of nature, a technological Moby Dick, or simply a way to expedite house-cleaning withing the Marvel universe. It is true, and history proves it, even stated in this video - Nimrod can defeat any terrestrial superhero/mutant/etc. Nimrod is the ultimate expression of the concept of inexorable force and overcoming any challenger. It does not happen very often in comics, but Nimrod is the personification of a story telling device, like foreshadowing, red herrings, or a MacGuffin... Nimrod is the inevitability of oblivion. This makes it ideal to act as a mirror to consider any other character and how they reconcile their own end. Also, I totally agree with the hierarchy of the Sentinel sequence. Nimrod was always the ultimate expression of this concept and the fact that its genesis is wholly within the framework for the Marvel/Mutant/X-man paradigm is perfect. It stops at Nimrod - literally. I would love to see a single poster of Nimrod hovering just above a mountain of potent fallen superheros, villains, and other Marvel characters of all types, bathed in that now signature electric fuchsia glow simply stating... "Program Complete" with a few lighting bolts and parting storm clouds for dramatic effect.

I come and watch your house/powers of x reviews straight after I read the issues. Love the work you do man! Thanks for being such an awesome content creator!!

Sabertooth will kill everyone in this room and be home in time for cornflakes LMFAOOOOOOO

love Nimrod... ever since the days of X-men animated series back in the 90's... 💯

honestly, to me it makes perfect sense when you boil down to it that nimrod could beat apocalypse given most of the active powers used in combat beyond his biological immortality, is derived from celestial TECH, so it makes sense with earth being home to people such as tony stark, who can basically out tech or recreate tech to basically rival those on the level of the celestials, such as recently making his own god killer armor, it seems like it would only be a matter of time, especially if anyone could get their hands on celestial tech to reverse enginer

Yea 1980's Sabertooth is such a gangsta. He's a good character that never really was done right

I LOVE what Hickman is doing, but why wasn't Jean on a "i'll keep probing their minds just in case to make them sleep" mode. I don't see why you would carry a telepath and don't use her.

Cyclops: “Oh gee thanks Magneto. I’m so comforted that if I get shot in the face I’ll be remembered.” XD

Emma Frost ... plays no games!

This comic series got me back into reading comics. Like as in the last time I seriously read comics was when I was 15. Now with house of X I see myself reading all of Mark Miller's indie works from kick ass to the magic order, The Terrifics, Justice League Dark and Odyssey. And I've never been happier.

I can never get over how he always mispronounces "Stepford Cuckoos" - by saying cuh-COOS instead of COO-coos.

Why does Nimrod look more cuddly than intimidating?

Funny little thing Rob you can actually have two queen bees in one hive. They just have to fight to death. Would be pretty neat to see two Nimrods fighting to the death

*sees Emma's scene* *sees the scene where the married couple say their good-byes* ...Are-are the X-Men the bad guys? That being said, I bet Emma using her powers to destroy everyone's brains seems far less destructive than her just using her words.

What if this all leads up to Legion saving the day. Or maybe the person under the mask is Legion.

love you man! can't wait to listen to your narrative about this series, on point and a pleasure to hear you!

Imagine Nimrod and Ultron teaming up or fused together or battle it out. That would be epic.

"The mutants killed my husband!!" *video shows man creating a bomb and he explodes it himself* see? They killed him

I’ve always thought of Nimrod as being a second gen. Ultron, so John’s soft retcon here makes total sense to me. Personally, I think mother-mold is going to start harvesting people for Nimrod dev. and that’s why the very last timeline has a mutant contact the Phalanx as a possible shoe-in to counteract mother-molds ambitions. So yes, I think John will make allowances for the dev. of multiple Nimrod Sentinels.

Love your vids rob

Your energy and depiction of the story you're telling is addictive!! Keep up the excellent work brother!!! Always leaving us wanting to know more!!!

You ever get the feeling we’re reading what will go down as an X-men classic? Like DOFP or Dark Phoenix Saga?

Thanks for the vid sir.👍🏼👍🏼

What i got from A)the info pages about stages of hive mind and B) Seeing Nimrod duplicate to apoc...i think there is one Nimrod intellegence but it can be spread over infinite bodies

Two vids in a day. Feels blessed

Great job

I can't express how delighted I am to see these changes. I've been reading the X-Men since 1984, and there's no other comic book characters I love as much as these mutants. However since the end of XM vs. Avengers I've had a hard time staying interested, and with Bendis run I gave up for the most part, and then entirely after Secret Wars. This feels like both a rebirth and a return to form. I love Hickman, always have. Thanks for the content man, you're the best.

How does Nimrod counter telekinesis and magnetism?

I love Nimrod. I remember when he first showed up in the animated series. To this day my friends and I still use quotes from that storyline.

Thanks so much for doing these kids , gives a different perspective when reading

Keep what you are doing brotha 👊, I like the enthusiasm

THAT EMMA SCENE STOLE THE ISSUE. And you should’ve quoted the actual threat to the guard😔 it was a pretty good burn albeit a bIT inappropriate

There can be more than one Nimrod because in powers of X #3 when Apocalypse fighting Nimrod you see three Nimrods

Awesome video

Love this

So far so good.

Dude, I love your Sabertooth part of your talk about those courts, haha. "Sabertooth would've killed everyone and be back in time for cornflakes." haha :)

Loving all the X-men content! ❤️

You the man Rob

I like the outro music!!!

I have been waiting for another cornflakes shoutout for the longest time Rob 😆

Had to look up Kangaroo Court. You have a great lexicon Rob.

☼ 10:50 thats not how diplomatic immunity works. like, at all.

Second viewer and i love your content Rob.i been part of the Rob corp for a while i love comics because of you and Comicstorian

Nimrod the big pink robot! yay!

If a regular Master Mold can predict an attack and plan a trap for the X men before then Mother Mold... uh oh 😳.

How do you attract new fans when the adds last longer than your average video?

Rob, wuts up big baby. Feel good to see a fresh new video. House of X is str8 as hell. Keep it up my g.

"Home in time for cornflakes"? Oh my word, I died!!!! I had to stop what I was doing at work to come here and comment. Im still laughing and that line, absolutely brilliant!!!!

Be cool if Moira took the mutant chimera information from life 9 and brought it to life 10.

Not to nitpick but is Master Mold really cranking out sentinels as fast as HUMANLY possible???

Hickman is a boss...he knows these characters in and out...then he takes pieces of history and expounds it to create something greater 💯

Nice story so far , waiting on your batman superman review on the Shazam who laughs !!

What the Mutants need to do is to make this humanity's problem.... Get the Avengers and the Fantastic Four in on this and end this whole mess in one go! One the bad guys side: I eventually see Nimrod getting assimilated by Ultron..

Nimrod: "NANO MACHINES, SON!" XD

Always found Nimrod to be a cool concept. Recently I've been reading up on the Young Avengers and I'm struggling to find much on KZfaq that goes into depth - any chance you're working on something/able to in future?

Next episode please 😁🙌

STOP PLAYING HICKMAN I KNOW THEY DIDN'T JUST GET BLOWN UP AT THE END OF THE COMIC...😰

you forgot to mention that at the end of the comic they outline how to read the krakoan language so now we as the reader can figure out all those odd symbols all over krakoa and at the begging and end of every issue

Also a small problem for me is they’re basically doing with Prof X what they were doing with Scott which i loved but they went no where with it and now its almost similar to what scott did. Scott was the “Original” fallen angel But i gotta see what Cyclops journey will be It was a great start to the reboot.

Amaaaaazing comic. Now, on a side note. I need an Nimrod vs Ultron video because they have such similar concepts I'm having a hard time reconciling them.

That bit at the end about mother mold makes me think of the clerks death star argument about how the Empire was evil and all but the guys building the station were just some union contractors.

*_"Okay, so"_* 0:10

I felt like the issue was cut short? I doubt the squad died. Cuz the next issue cover shows them wrecking shop on AIM soldiers. I wish there was an info dump on why Scott chose these specific members: Himself (strategy), Logan (invulnerable) and Warren (flight) plus: sheer violence, intimidation, willling to kill, stealth M: muscle, flight, invulnerable Jean: tk, tp, OLM, moral compass Kurt and his mom? Magik would have been a better choice, she does what Kurt does plus more and Mystique for disguise but she is easily killable, i guess but she must be on a side- mission Husk? Becuz hickman likes her, but I would have picked another OLM like Storm

Emma might have just saved this whole story for me. God I hope they give us more of her. And I hope she changes her costume.

this video makes me want to read marvel comics again! i'd given up on them many years ago.

Bruh what was the outro song? It was fire

Rob, which is the greater threat? Nimrod or Ultron?

great video and I love these books! If this Mother Mold mission is so key to mutant survival why isn't Magneto on the mission?

Yay nimrod is back

Hey rob can you do a segment on avengers: celestial quest

I honestly did not want this to end. What a fascinating story! If i wanted to read up about nimrod, do have a suggestion of where i should start? Mahalo in advance.

Damn 2nd viewer finally getting notified Early for your video's!

"... and be home in time for Corn Flakes." Best line in the entire video.

Nimrod making megatron proud

Nimrod is my new favorite X character. He gets shit done and does it right.

Rob starting to get that DC rebirth hype in his voice again

The way you get excited about comic books is awesome man. Good to see someone with actual comic book knowledge and love make some money on the Tube

Hey rob you should do a beyond omega level vide on Max Faraday! He’s an obscure character, which is surprising considering he’s so astronomically powerful.

I love Hickman but all these charts and graphs and languages make me feel like I am gonna be taking a written test at the end of his run

You know you have bad internet when the KZfaq Ad has a hard time loading

Omega Sentinels sound like the OMAC Project. How long have they been in the comics? Of course, the Infinite Crisis Countdown iteration of OMAC sounds a lot like Sentinels in general.

Total recall reference with the corn flakes!

So basically Terminator time travel logic, Back to the Future logic, Happy Death Day logic, and Endgame logic goes in this version of X-Men. With Moira in a timeline a Nimrod will still appear at some point, while something else probably replace it. Think of it, as a branchs of a tree, one can tore one branch, but another will grow in it's place. If, Moira has tried 10 times that means it leads to Nimrod or somebody she uses to eventually lead to her death isn't enough to stop the conflict then she needs to the find the root cause itself and figure out how to destroy before it will latch on and grow on what trigger affect is it that sets it off perhaps a person or a event.

I love the writing here. When Emma Frost Wedding crashes that court, on my god. Just murders ppl with her tongue. Telling that guard what she could make her do with her gun. Boyfriend burn and then just blows her off, just glorious writing in this story wow.

Hey Rob, do buy digital or physical copies of your comics? I wonder if your local comic shop feels intimidated that you know more than they do about most books

14:06 There are at least three nimrods fighting apocalypse, although they share the same "mind"/AI.

I've been very wary of the comics for a lot of outside reasons. I think this issue has pushed me over the edge. I'm a fan and will actually buy it. It's truly the best thing coming out of DC right now

Sometimes what Rob says reminds me of that scene from The Untouchables
